💰 - salary sharing Mid-30s BigTech Data

Post image

Paystubs too messy and potentially identifiable to share, so sharing info from our interval pay summary/modeling tool. Total taxes are $177k.

I’m reaching the ceiling for my level ($600k) and will need to get a promo to make much more than this. The next level would open up my ceiling to $800k but it is one of the hardest level jumps to make.

I have 7 years of experience in this role. Prior to this role I was making $75k in my mid/late 20s.

My first tech job paid $85k, then my next paid $135k, then $340k, then $415k, and finally I’m here. I put in minimum 9-10 hours of every hard work, regularly attended networking events, and had the advantage of joining check when hiring was explosive

What degrees and cert did you get?

The particular degree doesn’t matter. My peers have degrees that range from economics, statistics, math, hard sciences, life sciences, and computer science.

Certifications don’t matter for jobs at this level. No one looks at them. If anything, they might be a negative sign b/c getting them might mean that you are not familiar with what it takes to get these jobs.

So, how do you get started ?

I spent a lot of time studying machine learning and causal inference using free online resources and textbooks. Then I started applying what I learned to my exiting job and practicing using personal projects after work. At the same time I was attending meetups and conferences. Once I had a few substantive projects, I applied to tech jobs.
